Preregistration
Once admitted to the University, students are advised
to preregister for their courses well in advance of the
beginninlg of lectures. Preregistration is the process of
choosing courses, having them approved by the
appropriate advisor and recorded with the Registrar’s
Office before the start of cla$ses. First year students
should preregister for courses and programs in
consultation with an advisor in their faculty’s
undergraduate office; advanced year students should
select their courses on the advice of the
undergraduate advisor for their major department.
Students registering through Renison College or St.
Jerome’s College should select their courses with the
appropriate advisor at their college. All students must
